Introduction

Hi, my name is CCL sama :) First of all, my English is not the best around, so please bear with me :S A few of you may know me from this forum :D I'm working on a map at the moment which is based on an anime called highschool of the dead. Most of the animefans playing Contagion should have heard of it or watched it :) I changed the mapname to highschool of the zed in short ce_hotz to avoid any copyright issues :p I have done some testmaps in the past so I only know a little of the basic stuff from hammer editor but I gained a lot of experience in the past 6 months from working on this map on a daily basis so don't underestimate me :P

About the map

The map is basically a japanese highschool...at least it looks like one XD. (Never was in one lol) Planned is an escape route that leads to the roof and another one after the map release. It will be outside, using the bus to escape like from the anime. The setting of the map is bloody and scary and of course being realistic as much as possible. Most of the brushwork is based on my own sinister imagination >:D. Since I am a little perfectionistic, I won't release an unfinished map or make it to hunted mode, cause it's aimed only for coop at the moment...sry guys.

Key Features

- Realistic lightning effects
- Over 14 realistic objectives
- Friendly objective system against griefers
- Random objectives, random item spawnpoints
- More custom interactions with the enviroment
- Almost no camping exploits (Msg me if you found one!)
- Sliding feature on rails

Well, this had to be come I guess.
Though, I'm sad that there won't come a season 2.

Anyway, for someone who "only know a little of the basic stuff from hammer editor" it looks pretty good. The details look pretty good as well, though a bit more detail won't be bad.
Also, what about the beginning of the map? Are there zombies from the start of the map?
The anime started with just a single zombie, which just spreaded through the school in short time, so seeing how there's just a single zombie somewhere outside at the begin and shortly after zombies appearing from nowhere would be a nice little detail to see.

Looking forward, especially since this is not one of these hunted maps which I'm not really intrested in. Glad people are also working on coop maps. =)

Thx for your comment :) Would love to do that but I skipped it because the map is played at night and the infection has started already, that's why the survivor will find ammo and weapons because some sad events has already taken place there :S I could make an intro video for this matter but that would be a lot of work :(

Ideas and suggestion will be greatly appreciated since I'm nearly at the stage where I have to think about the objective concept :)

Not bad. Now it's just missing some decals and it will be perfect. :S

The room is sealed, and therefore it looks clean plus decals are already there, look at the grunge on the ground :P Added some drain decals too but not on this pic :)

there are decals that aren't only supposed to make a room dirty. there are also some decals like vents and signs.

Yes that's true :D but I don't need to use vent decals since I created one there already and there aren't any useful sign at the moment to use it in this room :) But thx for the feedback!

@edit: Thx for your feedback again! I looked up the list again and found one useable sign :)
